Answer 2

The right option is; A. It is younger than the rock layer below.

A rock layer deposited on top of another rock layer is younger than the rock layer below. This is based on the law of superposition which states that in any undeformed sequence of rocks that are laid down in layers, the youngest layer of rock will be on top of the sequence, while the oldest layer will be at the bottom of the sequence.
